And when I went to him and demanded the surrender of Cittus, because I believed that this
 slave could furnish the clearest proof of my claim, Pasion made the most outrageous
 charge, that I and Menexenus had bribed and corrupted Cittus as he sat at his
 banking-table and received six talents of silver from him. And that there might be neither
 examination nor testimony under torture on these matters, he asserted that it was we who
 had spirited away the slave and had brought a counter-charge against himself with a demand
 that this slave, whom we ourselves had spirited away, be produced. And while he was making
 this plea and protesting and weeping, he dragged me before the Polemarch The Polemarch was one of the nine archons of Athens. He had
 supervision of the affairs of foreigners and resident-aliens. with a demand for
 bondsmen, and he did not release me until I had furnished bondsmen in the sum of six
 talents. Please summon for me witnesses to these facts. Witnesses
